Speculations

EXISTANCE BEFORE & AFTER DEATH BY SUHAIL JALBOUT The first “Thinking Man”, the Cro-Magnon, appeared on our planet Earth around 35000 B.C. and then he was followed by modern man. Since our universe is 14 billion years old, it implies that it took an extremely long time to create an optimal being, modern man. It is quite possible that intelligent life may have been created elsewhere in the universe, possibly even before modern man on Earth, but no one yet can confirm or deny such existence. This means that modern man is the cream of creation since he appeared last. The question that follows is: Why the life span of modern man is so very short relative to the…

I was at a folk dance when my eureka moment came. When the MC announced the next dance some of us did not find a partner before taking to the floor. He said, "Pair off," then he could instantly see that one set was missing several men, and called for extras. My sudden realization was this could apply to atoms and specifically the question: How does an atom count exactly the right number of electrons to confer neutrality? Conventionally the nucleus has a net positive charge acting at a point and diffusely attracts all the electrons in the vicinity. Electrons arrange themselves into shells according to the aufbau principle, and the periodic table is the result. Thi…

I like to think of our universe a a membrane that exists in a higher dimension. I read a great example in a book my michio kaku, that goes like this. Imagine a 2 dimensional creature living on a sphere. He can wander around all of his life on the sphere, and never find an edge, because a sphere doesn't have an edge in 2 dimensions. but that doesn't mean that there is no limit to their universe. We may be in a similar situation, with other universal membranes floating in a " multiverse" of other universes beyond ours, all with their own isolated laws of physics and mabey even other life forms.

Since force is dynamic I've been wondering why gravity is called a force. Something like: F = ma <---dynamic since it involves acceleration F = GMm/R² <---static since no motion is involved Shouldn't it be: Tension = GMm/R²

OK, I will share a few ideas that have been passing in and out of my mind over the last few years. Please feel free to respond, because as of yet, I have not found anybody that is capable of discussing this with me. 1. The speed of light is not a constant: because gravity and time are proportional. Areas of deep space would have a low time effect which would allow light to pass at astonishing speeds relative to outside of this area, even though within the area of low gravity light is moving at it's classicly observed speed. This effect would appear to shorten the distance traveled, even though the distance is huge. It's very similar to a worm-hole, but it has a tr…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_circulation#Latitudinal_circulation_features The wind belts and the girdling the planet are steered by three cells: the Hadley cell, the Ferrel cell, and the Polar cell (the interpretation of the latter two is complex). it is my understanding that during most of earths history that air rose at the equator and sank at the pole in one continuous cell and that it was very much warmer. there was no ice at the poles.. further I can see no reason why one couldnt have just 2 cells. so it seems to me that the earth could have 3 different climates. one with 3 cells like today. one with 2 cells. and one with only one cell. now…

Let me present my theory about gravity: Big bang made of a space a vacuum. Same thing happens when a bomb detonates - there's a mere part of time when explosion pushes surrounding air and particles out of center of explosion, creating almost a vacuum (lets say it does create it because conditions of any explosion on earth aren't perfect). So on same principle universe is expanding - like never ending explosion that is pushing all most out all of particles, leaving in it only few and a lot of vacuum space. ok, now let's go on gravity: over past few years, geological studies has shown that all planets are expanding over time. Since those expandings aren't product o…

Do you remember Eistein predict a very small gravity wave when particle collide that is pretty much useless? Well, gravity is a pulse force of particle collision. That means the vibration of matter on earth is what creates gravity. Gravity pulse 90 degree perpendicular to the mass velocity and it's an instantaneous puse. When you swing a mass in circle and let it go tangently. You release a gravity pulse when the centripetal force suddenly came to zero. I'm very unhappy with the world being today. Do you or do you not want to move on to the new age? Do you want pepetual machine to exist or not? No wonder you made him so angry.

According to Darwins theory, man evolved from flora and fiona. Now, the big problem here, is that 1 flora + 1 fiona = 2 units. So far, all is going fine. The 5 foot old gentleman with a 6 foot beard, and a two ton brain, Mr C. Darwin, laughs at this young upstart trying to upset his beautifully constructed theories. But now, we come to the tiny little parts that just wont fit in with this idea…2 UNITS?? HOW CAN THERE HAVE BEEN 2???? According to science, everything, absolutely EVERYTHING, evolved from flora and fiona. That includes the concept of numbers!!! HIS THEORY CLAIMS THAT, AN OBJECT EXISTED BEFORE IT DID, A PARADOXICAL IDEA!!! THUS THAT OLD GENT IN TH…

i recently read a book on aliens and other mysteries of the unexplained and in most of the cases, the aliens "spoke" to abductees. no i picked up on a strange fact instantly...y. how the heck would an alien speak english??? they developed on another planet so they would have a different language system (if they communicate through sound at all) so i pose this question... how would an alien speak english???(other than watching us for millenia and learning our language)

I do not understand why people always say that circular logic is invalid. After all linear logic requires that the logic has to be based on something before it, and something before that, and something before that, and on forever. Unless you assume that there is an infinite chain of logic supporting whatever logical happenstance is occuring, then the only way for logic to work is if it is circular. Or maybe square, or any other connected shape. I have no pineapple. I buy pineapple. I eat pineapple. Triangular logic!!!! Yea I originally actually thought I might have been right but…

I was wondering what the people on this forum define the following words as: exist - object - space - universe -

How to explain WMAP sources??? We can see ' Extragalactic Sources' Bennett paper 2003, 'WMAP observations: Foreground emission' in particular 208 extragalactic point sources, including the 5 spurious ones. We can see WMAP '2008'-- 5-year data release also.

Pheer! On December 21st, 2012 the Mayans predict THE END OF THE UNIVERSE! Are you ready?

Some physicists believe in the possibility of instant time travels. Let's assume hypothetically something much simpler and looking more probable - that physics of four-dimensional spacetime we are living in, allows for microscopic loops which include time dimension. If they would have at least microseconds and we could amplify/measure them (Heisenberg uncertainty principle...), we could send some information back in time. Observe that computers based on such loop could instantly find fixed point of given function: Let's take for example some NP-problem - we can quickly check if given input is correct, but there is huge (but finite) number of possible inputs. So th…

Hi. I'm new to these forums, and I just joined because I have a lot of curiosity, and I'm not exactly the best scientist in the world, so go easy on me I've a bit of a "theory" (I'm sure I'm not the first...) about free will, and why I doubt it's existence. I'd like to see if I'm right, and if not, what part of my theory I went wrong in. Here's the idea. First off, nothing is really random, correct? Like, if you hit a pool ball on a pool table from X angle with Y amount of force, you would be able to calculate EXACTLY where it would end up. Right? Thus making it not random? Now, if nothing is random in that sense, wouldn't it be the same inside the brain on a…

I agree with Darkpassenger. I think that the whole idea of spacetime being curved and proven to curve during solar eclipses is hokum. It proves that light is bent by gravity and nothing more. It is a convoluted explanation for something that is quite simple. Einstein was the only one that I can think of that could get away with mind experiments. Didn't we get away from that during the Rennaisance? String theory is another example of trying to force something to make sense instead of shutting up and just admitting we just don't know at this time what the heck is going on at that level. I've been looking at these things for over 40 years and the logic goes right out …

This free gift is for everyone and has two parts; one addresses the physical and the other concerns itself with the metaphysical -- spiritual. . * Physical --> consists of an application of Coulomb’s Law. An application of Coulomb’s Law was the ‘holy grail’ of the early electrical pioneers (Ohm, Volta, Faraday, etc.). In layman’s terms, this could mean free energy. Essentially, it is a high voltage electric field isolation transformer. http://www.i-am-a-i.org/free-energy/index.html * Metaphysical --> is a metaphysical science textbook. The paradigm of this book is only important in that it arrays Truth in a comprehensive manner for the included exe…

My particle is Zerre, origin of the mass. But I will start from quarks to make it easy. My quarks are Zerre quarks. I called them as z-quarks. What is the type and mass of the z-quarks? When we investigate decays and N.R. all the thing produced is; electron, positron, photon (electron-positron interaction) and neutrino. when you investigate decays whithout neutrino you see again, electron, positron, photon (electron-positron interaction) http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon neutrino-less decay modes. So type of quarks according to product side; electron - positron - electron or positron - electron - positron electron - posit…

Has anyone heard of Zachariah Sitchin, Lloyd Pye, or Eric Von Danniken? Their explanations seemed plausible.

Since the 1980's we have known that the local group of galaxies is being drawn toward the area of the Great Attractor and Shapley Supercluster. I can see only two methods of attraction. (1) Orbital; in which case we should be able to detect many blue shift galaxies on inside or outside orbits. (2) Straight line attraction: in which case we should be able to detect blue shift galaxies on the other side heading into the area of attraction.

The South Atlantic Anomaly is growing, moving, and if it continues on its present course, will cause severe damage to the environment. The SAA currently covers most of South America and extends across the South Atlantic Ocean. This is a weakness in the Earth's Magnetosphere, and is weakening the entire magnetic field of Earth. In some locations there have already been reports of surface damage from solar/cosmic radiation exposure. Jet airliners are first-line vulnerable as they fly high-altitude across this compromised region, and these regional effects are pre-known to be dangerous to all DNA lifeforms. The SAA is also a contributing factor in the accele…

we as a race are on the verge of creating a sentient being via artificial intelligence within a generation if that long and, potentially a biological one as we venture into the new computer systems based on chaos theory. this new science will advance our progress inexplicably. should this new race we will undoubtably create be given the benefit and perils of human prejadice and morality and most else that comes along with being human or should they simply be created as logic based without the hinderence of bias? i would like to know your thinking regarding any and all aspects of this in society as well as in space exploration itself. martin, because i value your insig…

This is not entirely speculation. Most of this post is based on the current idea's of scientists searching for a conventional explanation of neurological development. Time Does Not Flow The Psychological Arrow of Directionality The classical principle of entropy can be described as being ice cubes in a glass of water. To imagine this picture, you must consider that there was total order present, with the ice cubes and the water separately. However, as time progresses, entropy is increased, as the water dissolves the ice cubes, rather than the ice cubes remaining in their normal states. This shows that an object will slow down if it slides on a corruptive su…
